During Operation Intrude N313, Duck fought against FOXHOUND operative Solid Snake. Using three POWs as human shields, which included Jennifer's brother,[2] he dared Snake to try and shoot him, while attacking with his lethal boomerangs.[3] In addition, the area's floor was rigged with a pit trap, just in case Snake attempted to close in on Duck. However, Snake found an opening against Duck's attacks and killed him without harming the POWs.[4][5][6]

Behind the scenes

Dirty Duck (ダーティ・ダック,Dāti Dakku?) is a boss that appears in Metal Gear. He is named Coward Duck (カワード・ダック,Kawādo Dakku?) in the original MSX2 version, after the comic book/movie character Howard the Duck.

Duck's weapons of choice are returning boomerangs, commonly thought of as an Australian icon, though Duck's own nationality was never specified. They are semi-descended from hunting implements called kylies, that was often associated with the Aborigine people of Australia, although archaeological evidence indicated that non-returning boomerangs existed as early as the Stone Age in Europe. The idea of a boss using boomerangs as their primary weapon returned in Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, with the character Slasher Hawk.
